Chapter 2 Chang'an Fengyun II
readx;
Today's Li Shimin is a little different from the Tiance general in history who 'King Qin is out, and the world moves'. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The massacre of Jiangling made Li Shimin's reputation more or less affected.
But the impact is not too great...... In this era, it was not uncommon to slaughter cities and killings. Not to mention that Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande have done such things, if you trace it back, even the great Han Gaozu Liu Bang also did this kind of thing, what is it?
Therefore, after a group of scholars and scholars stood up to denounce for a while, they were immediately overwhelmed by the good news of pacifying Jiangnan.
In any case, Li Shimin's performance in the Battle of Pingliang was not too bad. If it weren't for the fact that Xiao Mo was put together by the Empress Dowager Xiao in the end, it would be impossible to say that he could capture Jiangling without blood. After Li Yuan transferred Li Shimin back to Chang'an, he first refrigerated it for a few months.
At the beginning of the fifth year of Wude, Li Shimin re-ascended the post of Shang Shuling, and was named the general of the left and right twelve guards, and the governor of the world's soldiers and horses.
Li Jiancheng was in such a balance, and he had to rein in his edge.
―――――――――――――――――――― Li Shimin's crusade against Yang Wengan, the result is obvious.
Li Jiancheng was not too nervous, because this matter did not have much to do with him. It's just that what surprised him the most was that news came from Renzhi Palace: Li Yuan seemed to have moved his mind to abolish the crown prince, and was ready to canonize Li Shimin as the crown prince after King Qin's victory. And Li Jiancheng was arranged in Shuzhong, canonized as the king of Shu, and never regretted Chang'an...... Is this news true or false?
Li Jiancheng was a little panicked.
With Li Shimin's expedition, Li Jiancheng was immediately released.
But he was confined to the East Palace by Li Yuan, and he was not allowed to leave without Li Yuan's edict.
At least he still lives in the East Palace, which shows that Li Yuan's idea of abolishing the crown prince is not particularly resolute!
At the same time, the East Palace can still enter and exit, except for Wei Ting, the left leader of the East Palace, who has been arrested and imprisoned, the rest have not been implicated too much.
"The prince doesn't need to worry, in the current situation, as long as Yang Wengan is taken, the prince can clear his innocence, and His Majesty will definitely not blame."
Seeing that Li Jiancheng was so anxious, someone stood up to explain him.
This person's name is Zhao Hongzhi, recommended by Li Yuanji, as the crown prince Zhan Shi, and his rank is higher than the third grade.
I think that at the beginning, it was this Zhao Hongzhi who came forward and constantly provoked the relationship between Li Jiancheng and the crown prince Shaobao Li Gang, and finally succeeded in forcing Li Gang away and became the most favored and trusted figure around Li Jiancheng...... However, before he finished speaking, Wei Zheng couldn't help but sneer.
"Didn't Zhao Zhan think that King Qin could leave Yang Wen behind?"
Wei Zheng and Zhao Hongzhi have always been not very compatible, and relatively speaking, Li Jiancheng undoubtedly trusts Zhao Hongzhi a little more.
Zhao Hongzhi was suddenly angry, "Could it be that King Qin still dares to kill Yang Wen?"
His Majesty has an edict to keep Yang Wengan's surname...... If King Qin kills Yang Wengan, it will be disrespectful! ”
Wei Zheng laughed, "Zhao Zhanshi, I can bet with you that Yang Wengan will definitely die." ”
Li Jiancheng was stunned and asked, "Why is this?" ”
"Prince, what Yang Wen did was strange, didn't you notice something strange? Yang Wengan is an old courtier, and he is also extremely cautious in doing things, how could he suddenly rebel? Also, Yu Wenying was written by the prince, but she never returned, and her life and death are still unknown. Yang Wengan killed Yu Wenying? I don't quite believe it...... As far as I know, the relationship between Yang Wengan and Yu Wenying doesn't seem to be too bad. There is no news of Yuwen Ying, there is only one possibility, and that is to be killed.
Killed by whom? ”
Wei Zheng's words still attracted Li Jiancheng's attention.
Although he is still inclined to Zhao Hongzhi in his heart, he also believes that Li Shimin may not dare to resist the order.
But Wei Zheng's words ...... "Zuo Shuzi means that Yang Wengan ......"
"What kind of relationship is between Yang Wengan and King Qin, it is difficult for the minister to judge. It's just that the minister knows that Yang Wengan's sudden rise to the army is a bit strange. Yang Wengan is alive and is a trouble...... Whether it is for King Qin or His Majesty, it is not a good result. Therefore, the King of Qin will put Yang Wengan to death, and as far as His Majesty is concerned, I am afraid that he will also hope so.
In short, after this battle, King Qin will definitely gain a greater say in the court.
And even if the crown prince can be preserved, I am afraid that he will not be able to continue to suppress the king of Qin...... The crown prince should know that there are not many supporters of King Qin in the court, not to mention the governor of Lingwu, the general of Zhenbei, the general of the tiger, King Zhao is on the side of King Qin, and there are many people who hope that King Qin can ascend the throne...... Moreover, in King Qin's Tiance Mansion, there are also countless capable people, how can the prince not guard against it? ”
Li Xuanba's Tiger General is quite similar to Li Yanqing's Qilin General.
It's just a title, or a fictitious position, without any rights.
Li Jiancheng's heart is actually worried about this. He does have some foundation in the court, but outside the court...... I have to admit that Li Shimin does have some means.
Even Qu Tutong, the secretary of the military department who first followed Li Jiancheng to quell the chaos in Hexi, now has faint signs of taking refuge in Li Shimin.
The reason for this, Li Jiancheng is not unincomprehensible.
The impact of Li Gang's return to his hometown is really not small...... After all, he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, who has gone through Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui and even Li Yuan's old courtiers today, and is known for his uprightness inside and outside the court. Driving away such an upright person, isn't it to some extent that Li Jiancheng is not wise enough?
You must know that Li Gang was an auxiliary minister of Yang Yong, the former prince of Chaoyin.
As a result, Yang Yong alienated Li Gang and was eventually replaced by Yang Guang; Now, Li Jiancheng has forced Li Gang away, does it mean that ...... Li Jiancheng didn't think of this question at first.
But as time went by, Li Jiancheng couldn't help but start and regretted it!
It's just that there is no turning back from this bow, Li Gang has already left Chang'an, and Li Jiancheng is helpless.
The loss of Li Gang made Li Jiancheng lose a lot of foreign aid. Li Shimin's growth day by day made Li Jiancheng quite nervous.
"Zuo Shuzi means ......"
"In fact, the prince still has the upper hand in the court.
Not to mention that Xingyang Zheng and the prince are good sons-in-law, many old ministers in the court also attach great importance to the prince. The left servant also said that although the prince lost slightly in the small section, he did not lose in the big section...... The minister thinks that what the prince needs now is foreign aid. ”
"Foreign aid?"
"A foreign aid who is as strong as a tiger superior, King Zhao is a thousand years old!"
Zhao Hongzhi seemed dissatisfied with Wei Zheng stealing the limelight, so he asked: "But I don't know what the benefits of this foreign aid are, and who can provide foreign aid?" ”
"If the crown prince gets a strong reinforcement from outside, it will be enough to balance King Zhao.
King Zhao held tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, sat in Lingwu, and to a certain extent, also gave enough support to King Qin. When people say that the King of Qin is brave, they must say that the King of Zhao is brave. When it comes to the crown prince, he can't find a character who can compete with King Zhao, which is inevitably regrettable.
Zhao Zhanshi asked me, who can provide foreign aid?
In fact, the prince's foreign aid has long been there, but in the past period of time, it has been somewhat neglected.
If the prince has the support of this person, he can rest easy...... Even if there are tens of thousands of soldiers under the command of King Zhao, it is not enough for the prince to worry.
At the same time, if he gets this person, the prince will no longer have any worries.
The prince should know that Han Gaozu wanted to abolish Emperor Hui and set up King Ruyi of Zhao as the crown prince. Zhang Zifang offered advice, so that Emperor Hui had four hao Shangshan, and he would sit back and relax. This person is better than Shangshan Sihao...... It is both humanistic and military, and has a grudge with the King of Qin, why not invite the prince? ”
"You're talking about ......"
Wei Zheng said it to this point, how could Li Jiancheng not think of who he was talking about?
Wei Zheng smiled and said nothing, and Li Jiancheng's face couldn't help but show a little relaxed smile.
"It's been four years...... The king of Henan went to Lingnan and created a world for four years.
It is said that Lingnan is very different now, and if you can ask him for help, Lone is really relieved...... I just don't know if my father will agree? ”
"This, you need to look at the prince's means.
The minister was willing to share the worries of the prince, and went to Lingnan in person to visit the king of Henan Chitose and test his tone. However, at this time, it is necessary to be cautious when going to Lingnan, not because His Majesty knows the prince's intentions. The minister has a plan to make the king of Henan return, and he can be more unaware of the ghost and take the arm of the king of Henan for the prince. ”
Li Jiancheng was suddenly in high spirits: "The plan will be settled, tell me quickly." ”
